The Most Significant Features of Java Language

The Most Significant Features of Java Language

Author: john wircken

Java is an object-oriented programming language developed by Sun Microsystems in 1990s. Since then, Java has gained enormous popularity as a computer language. Java was chosen as the programming language for network computers. It is a universal front end for enterprise database. Sun Microsystems states that, “Java is a simple, object-oriented, distributed, secure, architecture, robust, multi threaded and dynamic language. The program can be written once, and run anywhere”. One of the most significant advantages of Java is that, it has the ability to move easily from one computer to another. It also has the ability to run the same program on many different operating systems. With such exemplary benefits, Java is a hot favorite among techies and software professionals.

Java has significant advantages compared to other languages. Java language is easy to use and therefore easy to write, compile, debug. Moreover, it is easier to learn when compared to other programming languages. Since Java is object-oriented, it allows you to create modular programs and reusable codes. Platform-independent, Java is a robust language. The language lays more importance on early checking for errors, since Java compilers can detect many problems during the time of execution of an application. Java is multithreaded, since it has the capability for a program to perform several tasks simultaneously within the same program. Java Development has gained a significant position in the industry with programmers and developers finding it easier and more effective than many other languages.

Java applications are designed to be compiled and then interpreted at runtime, unlike the conventional programming languages, which can either compile source code to native code or interpret the source code. The language itself has borrowed the syntax from C and C++. Java considers security as a part of its design. The Java language, its compiler, interpreter, and runtime environment are all developed with security. Writing network programs in Java is similar to sending and receiving data to and from a file.

The Java programming language was developed and re-designed for use on the Internet. In the internet domain, Java’s popularity has increased tremendously, especially on the server side of the Internet. Nowadays, there are a large number of Java experts who strive for the enhancement and improvement of Java development. For beginners who are interested in learning Java, the numerous Java tutorials available online are good to start with. Java tutorials and Java tips are the best resources for learning and improvising in Java.

Java Development experts are trying to enhance their programming skills for writing secure Java applications. In order to write a secure code in Java you need to be aware of various things such as data handling techniques, user authentication rules, access controls etc. JavaScript is a scripting language which shares a similar name and has the same syntax, but is in no way related to the core Java language. Few steps are crucial for a secure Java application development. They are logical software design, proper validation, well planed application development and standardized security test. Java has become the language of choice world over for providing effective and sure-fire Internet solutions.

Writing Unit Tests to test JMS Queue listener code with ActiveMQ

During my GSoC project for OpenNMS i did some work with JMS and wanted to write test classes to make sure that my code was working well. In this article i will try to explain how you can use ActiveMQ to write test cases for your JMS code. This is very handy when your code has a part that listens to a JMS queue. Apache ActiveMQ  Apache ActiveMQ is a extremely popular and very powerful open source messaging and Integration Patterns server. You can check it out here . The part we will be using to run our test classes is the embedded broker that is provided by ActiveMQ. This allows you to create a temporary broker for test purposes to create a JMS queue in our case. If you want to learn more about the embedded broker check out this article . The easiet way to create a embedded broker is through the following code line. This will automatically create a embedded broker. ConnectionFactory connectionFactory = new ActiveMQConnectionFactory("vm://localhost?broker.pe...

Reading and Writing Binary files in java - Converting Endianness ( between Big-endian byte order and Little-endian byte order)

Image
In this post we will look into working with binary files in java. The end goal of the post will be to create simple java application that reads a binary file and write it back to a different binary file. The difference between the two files would be the byte order. If we read in a file with Big-endian byte order we will write it back with a Little-endian byte order and vice-versa. Lets first understand what is meant by byte order and what Big-endian and Little-endian are. If you are already familiar with this you can skip this section of the post You can find the complete code for Binary format converter that is explained in this post at GitHub -  https://github.com/pulasthi/binary-format-converter Understanding byte order and Endianness The endianness refers to the order that bytes are stored when storing multi byte values such as Integers and Doubles this is also known as the byte order. The endianness does not have any meaning when you consider a single byte ...

Setting up Heron Cluster with Apache Aurora Locally

Image
In this post we will be looking at how we can setup Heron steam processing engine in Apache Aurora in our local machine. Oh Boy this is going to be a long post :D. I am doing this on Ubuntu 14.04 and these steps should be similar to any Linux machine. Heron supports deployment in Apache Aurora out of the box. Apache Aurora will act as the Scheduler for Heron after the setup is complete. In order to do this first you will have to setup Apache Zookeeper and allow Heron to communicate with it. Here Apache Zookeeper will act as the State Manager of the Heron deployment. if you just want to setup a local cluster without the hassle of  installing aurora take a look at my previous blog post -  Getting started with Heron stream processing engine in Ubuntu 14.04 Setting Up Apache Aurora Cluster locally  First thing we need to do is to setup Apache Aurora locally. I will try to explain as much of the configurations as i can as we go on. First lets get a Apache Aurora cluster ...
